97' Cobra, what do I have to do to add Mach1 Heads?
Hey Everyone;
The wife just bought a 97' Cobra that has a brand new forged shortblock but the cams werent installed correctly gauling and damaging the heads and cams.
I have an extra set of brand new COMPLETE 03/04 Mach1 heads (same cast as 03/04 Cobra) I also have the intake to match as well as the timing cover.
What do I need to change to complete this swap? I need all the details I can get also with pics and part numbers.
Thanks guys, I really need help with this so I do it right and easily.
Also how much horsepower do you think these heads will make. The pistons were flat top and he said would be 10:1 CR with the B heads, if I remember right the Mach1 heads offer higher compression. I think my SHM book says they are 62cc's.
Shortblock specs.
0.020 over stock Teksid block
Forged Cobra Crank
He didnt remark about the rods
Diamond Forged flat top pistons.
Thanks everyone

RE: 97' Cobra, what do I have to do to add Mach1 Heads?
I did a search but couldnt find much.
David_K mentioned in one thread that all you need to do is put the heads and the intake on (With the gaskets of course) and thats it, its a easy swap. Is that true?
Also she wants to go to a Kenne Bell later, can we just slap a Kenne bell on there for an 03 Mach1 and be good? Will everything Line up?
How anout the wiring harness? We have the Mach1 harness as well.
I also believe the head gasket thickness is 0.042" think, There is a 0.032" that I could get to raise the CR, what do you guys think about that?
Thanks again.
